NBC: Rahm Emanuel accepts position as Obama’s chief of staff
posted at 3:03 pm on November 5, 2008 by Allahpundit
Believe it — Mr. Cool and Captain F-Bomb, together at last. Yuval Levin reads the writing on the wall:
He is smart and tough. But he has been, in both positions [as Clinton staffer and House member], a vicious graceless partisan: narrow, hectic, unremittingly aggressive, vulgar, and impatient. Those who have worked for and with him come away impressed but not inspired, and generally not loyal.
The White House chief of staff is not a chief strategist or a chief advocate. He is a manager of people and of process. Above all else, he sets the tone internally, and shapes the president’s decision process and the feel of the upper tiers of the administration. Obama is especially in need of someone who will lead him to decisions, because he appears to be intensely averse to making difficult choices—which is the essence of what the president does. His inclination is to step back and conceptualize the choice out of existence, looking reasonable but doing nothing. To overcome this, he will need a chief of staff with a sense of the gravity of the choices the president faces, and one capable of moving the staff to decision, keeping big egos satisfied and calm, and resisting the pressure to be purely reactive to momentary distractions. None of this spells Rahm Emanuel.
Daschle was the touted alternative; instead, he went with a crony from Chicago. Word on the street is that we could be looking at Secretary of State John Kerry by the end of the week. Can you feel it?

I’m really getting sick of listening to the post-mortems on the 2012 election and everyone talking about Obama’s data mining operation and praising it for the results. I can’t believe an organization that thought all of that out, wouldn’t find the opportunity to inhibit the ability of its opponents to get their views heard, in the political arena, a great addition to the plan.
I’ve always said that Candy Crowley made Mitt Romney look like a liar, in front of 65 million people. If only 10% of them decided that they couldn’t vote for a liar and voted for Obama, that’s 6.5 million votes. Did that happen? We’ll never know. What we do know is that tea party groups, who couldn’t get tax exempt status, were severely inhibited from commenting on the issues that would affect their neighbors and friends. In a tight election these little things count and I just can’t believe the IRS wasn’t part of the equation.

.IRS Probes Church Over Obama Speech
************************************
By SUZANNE SATALINE
The Internal Revenue Service is investigating the United Church of Christ, saying the denomination may have threatened its tax-free status by allowing Sen. Barack Obama to speak before thousands of members at a church conference in June.
A lawyer for the church denied that the denomination,
or Sen. Obama, who is a UCC member,
engaged in any political activity
when he and others spoke before an audience of 10,000 at the church’s 50th anniversary celebration in Hartford, Conn.
A spokesman for the Obama campaign,
Tommy Vietor, said the candidate
“spoke to his church’s convention about his personal spiritual journey….
This was not a campaign event.”
It is considered unusual
for the federal agency
to investigate an entire denomination.
The agency has previously investigated individual churches and ministers who have made comments about politicians from the pulpit. In rare cases, churches have been fined or have lost their tax-free status.
An IRS spokeswoman
wouldn’t comment on the inquiry,
which the church disclosed by releasing a letter from the agency.
The 1.2 million-member religious body, which was formed with the merger of several Protestant groups,
is considered a social-activist denomination.
*********************************************
Federal tax law prohibits nonprofits from engaging in political campaigns.

Amen. But can we just do a behavior modification on the WH and keep President Obama?
The idea of Biden or Hillary as POTUS, with neither being basketball or baseball (even White Sox) fans is a possibility too horrible for me to fathom.
Our POTUS is from the Pacific Rim and none of this is consistent with that culture. If we could just excise the northeastern foolishness and Chicago corruption, things will be fine.
Just have some Skinnerian voltage shots for the belligerent shots he wants to take at middle America and convince him that lots of jobs are more important right now than the happiness of the environmental fruitcakes.
And he has to kill a ton of the other guys and cuss them out the next time some of us get whacked. He can pretend the terrorists are Cambridge Police, oil executives, nonunion teachers or any of the other villains in his head.

I detested having to vote for Romney; yet, I did because my sole purpose was to defeat Obama and his ‘Progressive’ agenda.
When people like Steve Angell show up here and elsewhere screaming about their moral superiority and self-inflicted ‘martyrdom’ in 2012, I have NO use for them.
There are oodles of links on the internet. It is the operating premise from people from Rush Limbaugh to the GOP that 3-4 million conservatives stayed home with the overwhelming number of them being social conservatives.

What we are ultimately going to find out in the future is that much of the operations of the White House is run by Valerie Jarrett and she uses verbal commands to avoid a paper trail.
Obama is the ‘post turtle’ and Jarrett is the trusted one from Chicago that wields the day-to-day power.
There is no way we won’t find out the link to the WH/Jarret somehow for at least one of these scandals.
It may take weeks months or a few years, but we can cripple the O administration and have certain abuses of the federal government temporarily disrupted until enough opposition can be put together to strengthen the number of cons and libertarians for Congress in 2014.

Let me see if I understand some of the liberals:
The IRS has the right to ask these types of questions of conservatives because they know the type of behaviors to expect from conservative, tea party, religious libertarian groups. OK, so profiling of political and religious groups is OK by a government agency, the IRS. Shouldn’t the IRS be asking most of the absurd questions when they feel a need to audit a company/group they feel may have violated their charter and tax classification? You can’t break the law until you break the law.
On the other hand, law enforcement can’t talk to, investigate or stop people in high crime areas, even if the people they stop are in the high crime areas for no good reason. You know, profiling is wrong, even if they are finding criminals, law breakers and people with outstanding warrants.
Just want to make sure I have the inconsistency and hypocrisy correct.

Just one problem: Unless I missed something, social-con turnout for Romney wasn’t lower.

> “Did you really think that we want those laws to be observed?” said Dr. Ferris. “We want them broken. You’d better get it straight that it’s not a bunch of boy scouts you’re up against—then you’ll know that this is not the age for beautiful gestures. We’re after power and we mean it. You fellows were pikers, but we know the real trick, and you’d better get wise to it. There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there it that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted—and you create a nation of lawbreakers—and then you cash in on guilt. Now that’s the system, Mr. Rearden, that’s the game, and once you understand it, you’ll be much easier to deal with.”

Hey HAL, buddy ol’ pal. ….
Why don’t you STFU?
I MEAN SERIOUSLY. You think you are even on the same playing field as RWM?
I’m not either, but I’m smart enough to know it.
I wish Ed would ban your azz because you offer little.
I don’t guess I offer much either, but I don’t come here with the sole purpose of being wn azz.
You do.
It’s not even creative debate. It’s hostile.
The thing is, even a under-educated person such as myself doesn’t buy your nonsense. You play the typical game, and it’s appalling.
Facts(RWM) ~vs~ rhetoric(you).
It’s simple. You’re a dumbazz. You are going to lose everytime.
You are the Private Pyle of Hotair.
Too stooopid to know your stooopid.
I don’t think I could muster a lower opinion.

The deal is that that’s anecdotal talking-head stuff. The actual numbers are like this: 1. The entire vote was depressed; 2. The Evangelical vote was the least depressed, setting a new relative high; 3. It’s possible to get an absolute number of Evangelicals between the number that voted and the number that could have voted, if you are a politician and need that number to get your positions pandered to . . . exactly like Rush is doing there, trying to push the pendulum . . . if you see what I’m saying.
My point is that it can’t be laid at Social Conservative feet until it’s already been laid at everyone else’.
Unless that real data (not anecdotal) is wrong.
— And really? Bauer? :) lol — not . . . not really table talk. Neither Huckabee, the progressive, while we’re here.
. . . dropping all this so you can do . . . that other thing. :)
. . . and going for comfort food.

Dude that’s pretty funny…Not your suffering but the way you described it. Reminds me how many bad english Diversity TA’s taught undergraduate core clusterf*k lectures because Y’know the tenured perfesser was too busy.
